Windows 98 and Windows 2003 Server
Hi Patrick
I am also running Windows 98 / Excel 97 sr-2 trying to save to a Windows 2003 server. I am getting the "document not saved" & "disk is full" when trying to save to a share on the Windows 2003 server. I am also running Open File Option (Veritas backup) & Symantec 8.x on the server (MS KB issue) which I have disabled. I have also checked permission / space = no issue. Ran a Network Monitor scan when savin the file and found a SMB error = File Path error. (?) Also updated dsclient. I am most instressted in getting in contact with you if you still have this problem / solution. "Patrick Peterson" wrote: Windows 98 SE computers with Excel 97 can not save to network share. When saving, the progress bar gets to close to 100% and then Excel hangs. If you do not end task Excel, a temp file will continue to build in size. (20k spreadsheet's temp file grows by about 800k every second) It is an Excel problem and not a permissions problem on the server. The user has full permissions to the folder. The problem occurs when logged on as administrator also. It is not an issue of file name length because the problem occurs even with a test file named "test.xls" is being copied to the root folder of the share. The computer was re-installed from scratch to make sure it wasn't an issue of file corruption. After installing Windows 98 SE and Office 97, the problem still existed. Windows Update has been run on this computer as of 4/30/2004 and all critical patches were applied. Also, Office SR2-b and dsclient have been applied. The problem still exists. I can copy the file from a local drive to the same network share without problems. The problem only occurs when trying to save to the share through Excel. We can login as the sme user on a Windows XP workstation with Excel 97 and save the same fine just fine. We did not have this issue with Windows NT Server. The only change has been Windows 2003. Any help would be great. |
